Ruoruo, seeing that a single address could anger the woman in blue so much, instantly put on a docile and innocent expression and said, "I'm sorry, Auntie, I was wrong. You only look sixteen or seventeen, but your real age must be over a hundred, right? I should call you Grandma."
"Where did this little swindler come from? So ill-mannered!" The woman in blue was furious. "Someone, throw this swindler out of here!"
The disciples on the side were stunned by the turn of events and hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade her: "Miss Hua, didn't I say that this is a young senior invited back by our senior brother? His alchemy cultivation is extremely high. He is definitely not a little fraudster. He is a distinguished guest of our Qing Alliance. How can we kick him out?"
The woman in blue glared fiercely at the disciple: "She must have used tricks to deceive Brother Yunfei. Didn't you see that she couldn't even collect the pill just now?"
The junior disciple said helplessly, "The junior senior has her own plans. Yesterday, this junior senior had a one-on-one alchemy competition with the senior brother. Not only did she win, but she also guided the senior brother to refine pills of excellent quality. She is definitely not a fraud."
The other disciples also gathered around, and they all talked at once, recounting the whole scene of their written test yesterday.
His words were full of praise and respect for Ruoruo.
Ruoruo's eyes were shining.
Another bold disciple approached Ruoruo with the pills he had just refined that morning: "Senior, these are the pills I just refined today. Could you please take a look at their quality? What went wrong in this step that resulted in only three pills being produced in this batch?"
Ruoruo wasn't particularly skilled in appraising pills, but this junior disciple's pills were clearly odd in color, and the errors were obvious: "The medicinal power of your pills is far too poor. You should practice refining spiritual herbs more first. Don't rush to make pills. If you can master refining spiritual herbs, it will be much easier to make pills later."
"Thank you, young senior!" The disciple bowed to Ruoruo and left happily with his pills.
The other disciples, who were still hesitant, couldn't help but gather around Ruoruo with the pills they had refined, seeing how easy she was to talk to.
"Young senior, please take a look at my pill!"
"And mine too, and mine too, young senior, please give me some pointers."
"Young senior, when I was practicing the alchemy technique today, I found something was amiss. Could you help me figure out what went wrong?"
The enthusiastic disciples of the Pill Hall all surrounded it.
The woman in blue couldn't get a word in edgewise and was unknowingly pushed aside by the disciples.
"You!" She was furious and wanted to reprimand the disciples, but found that those who surrounded her were all personal disciples of their respective sects.
As the daughter of a guest minister, she could order around and reprimand those junior disciples at will, but these personal disciples did not give her any face.
Two female disciples even deliberately squeezed past her and pushed her back two steps.
Ruoruo patiently answered the questions of each disciple, then smiled and waved to the woman in blue: "Grandma, if you have any questions you'd like to ask me, I can answer them for you too."
The woman in blue, who was called "old lady," turned pale and then flushed.
She stomped her foot and turned to complain to Yun Fei, only to be told that Yun Fei was not there and that she should come back another day.
Feeling wronged, he left the Green Alliance and went home to call people to get revenge.
"Finally gone..." a disciple couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "Does she think this is her own home in the Longevity Realm? Every time she comes, she acts all high and mighty. If it weren't for her father's sake, she wouldn't even be able to get through the door of our Green Alliance."
Ruoruo smiled and took out a top-grade pill, then gave a small bottle to each of the disciples who came to ask questions.
"Thank you everyone for defending me just now."
The disciples surrounded the woman in blue, clearly trying to help her out of a predicament.
Although Ruoruo wouldn't suffer any loss and didn't actually need them to worry so much and come to her rescue, she was still happy to be protected like this.
Most importantly, she rarely gets to experience the filial piety of her younger generation!
"It's just a small matter, how can we accept such a generous gift from a junior senior?" The two female disciples who had just left the woman in blue awkwardly put the pills back into Ruoruo's hands.
"It's alright, I'll give it to you, just take it. I didn't see you yesterday, so consider this a greeting gift." Ruoruo's kind expression sent chills down their spines.
Something feels off.
Inside the Qingmeng Council Hall, the Vice Alliance Leader sat in the main seat, with Yun Fei in the first seat to his right, and the Grand Elder sitting opposite him.
Five or six people sat close to them, their expressions serious as they looked at the two bottles of pills on the table.
"After examination, the medicinal properties, cooking time, and spiritual essence of these two bottles of pills are almost identical. Generally speaking, only under extremely lucky circumstances can two pills of this similarity be produced from the same batch of pills." The vice leader slowly exhaled, allowing his throbbing temples to calm down.
"But there are two large bottles of top-grade pills here, totaling twenty-four pills."
Yun Fei was moved: "Theoretically speaking, these twenty-four pills are from the same batch and came from the same furnace."
Silence fell over the room.
"No, that can't be..." An elder chuckled dryly and questioned, "Even the Azure Wood God couldn't produce twenty-four pills in one batch, let alone top-grade pills. That little girl is completely unknown, how could she..."
"This is the result of the Nine Cauldrons' appraisal; there is absolutely no mistake," the vice leader said in a deep voice.
